Kevin McHale: It’s not that complicated

Throughout the first round of the playoffs, Rockets coach Kevin McHale has stressed the importance of not making anything too complicated.

Again and again he has said that he just expects his players to “play hard” and “give effort.”

Before Game 6, he said that just wanted his team to play the game of basketball.

“You just have to go play basketball,” McHale said. “I tell you what, we are not going out and building nuclear weapons. You have to play basketball, holy smokes. Everybody acts like we are building a nuclear reactor. We are playing basketball. It’s not that complicated.”
